Sphingolipid long chain bases

Abstract: About 60 natural sphingolipid long chain bases have been identified or proposed. A review is given on their nomenclature, distribution, metabolism, biologic properties, chemistry and methods of characterization.

“…For PE-pl, mass spectrometric analysis allows to differentiate ether and fatty acid linked to the glycerol backbone. SM species assignment includes sphingoid base and N-linked fatty acid, because plasma SM contains beside sphingosine d18:1 (62%), other sphingoid bases, mainly sphingadienine d18:2 (14%) and hexadecasphingosine d16:1 (10%), in considerable amounts (33). Lysophospholipids (LPC), CER, and CE contain one fatty acid denominated by the species nomenclature.…”

“…They encompass a wide array of 2-amino-1,3-dihydroxyalkanes or -enes with (2S,3R)-erythro stereochemistry, alkyl chain lengths from 14 to 22 carbon atoms, 0 to 2 double bonds, and other modifications, such as hydroxyl group(s) at positions 4 or 6 and branching methyl groups at -l (iso), -2 (anti-iso), or elsewhere (6,7). Mammals produce mainly the species shown in Fig.…”
